One of the noticeable features Of the
Exhibition was the entire absence oil
drunkenness. So orderly and quiet was
the large crowd that there was no need
of policemen at all. The fact that there
were no intoxicated persons present to
brighten the ladies and annoy the visi-
tors has been most fayorably comment
ed on, and will have the effect of max
ing the Exhibition more and more pop
ular.
An exhibit that deserves special men,
ton is that OF the Riverton Mills Com
pany, which had pyramid Of flour in
silk sacks in the agricultural building.
Mr.. Cone, the manager, was present on
Wednesday, looking after the interests
of the company. lie is very pleasant
gentleman, whom we were pleased to
meet He claims for his flour that ii is
as good as any manufactured, and the
fact that the bread baked from it cap
tured the sweepstakes prize at the eX-
hibition looks as if his claim is well
founded. We are indebted to him for
silk sack full Of his best. Mr.. X. Nj.
Billmyer is the agent for the flour in
Shepherdstown, and we advise our lady
readers to try sack OF it and see for
themselves what good thing it is.
Mr.. C. p. Smith, V. S., of Hagers-
town. had three very fine horses on ex-
hibition. Two Of them were magnifi-
cent Clydesdale stations, one of which
weighed 2 .0l0 pounds when two years
and nine months old, the weight of the
other being 800 pounds. Both were
splendid specimens of horscflesh. The
third animal, a magnificent dappled
gray French coach horse that weighed
l 900 pounds, seemed to strike MAORI
ty of the crowd as being the finest horse
on the grounds. He was certainly
beauty. The trio exhibited by Mr..
Smith were as fine as any horses Of the
kind ever seen in this locality.
Much of the success of the Exhibit
ton is due to the efficient Eelp of the
marshals, who were untiring in their
efforts to keep things straight and make
the occasion pleasant for exhibitors aud
visitors. They deserve great credit for
their work, as do all who participated
secretaries, superintendent, judges and
officials generally.
